Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus provide the ability to personalize a digital channel. A digital channel is provided to multiple users and visitor information at each visit is collected. The visitor information includes data about each visit and multiple content items that are presented. The users are autonomously clustered by segmenting the user population into behavioral groups such that mutual information is maximized between the users in an assigned behavioral group and the content items. Based on the clustering, a model is generated that estimates a score for each interaction between users and content items. The model is updated at a defined interval. Based on the score, content items to recommend to a specific user are determined. The recommendation jointly maximizes an outcome and a learning speed of the model. The personalized digital channel is delivered to the specific user based on the recommended multiple content items.

Abstract: To provide a user signature on a network transaction, a security server receives transaction information representing a transaction between a network user and a network site, such as a website, directly from the network site. The security server calculates a one-time-password based on the received transaction information and a secret shared by the security server and the network site, but not by the user. The security server transmits the calculated one-time-password for application as the user's signature on the transaction. The one-time-password is independently calculable by the network site based on the shared secret.

Abstract: The MULTI-SOURCE, MULTI-DIMENSIONAL, CROSS-ENTITY, MULTIMEDIA ANALYTICAL MODEL SHARING DATABASE PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“AMSDB”) transform data aggregated from various computer resources using AMSDB components into updated entity profiles and/or social graphs. In one implementation, the AMSDB aggregates data records including search results, purchase transaction data, service usage data, service enrollment data, and social data. The AMSDB identifies data field types within the data records and their associated data values. From the data field types and their associated data values, the AMSDB identifies an entity. The AMSDB generates correlations of the entity to other entities identifiable from the data field types and their associated data values. The AMSDB also associates attributes to the entity by drawing inferences related to the entity from the data field types and their associated data values.
